Tesla has announced that its Supercharger network is now available via an adapter for Ford electric vehicle owners.
If you drive a Ford Mustang Mach-E or a Ford F-150 Lightning and have been pining when having to drive past all of those beautiful Tesla Superchargers, then today is a good day. You’re finally getting access to the Supercharger network.
In a blog post, Ford announced that Tesla is officially opening up its Supercharger network in the United States and Canada for Ford customers. While other brands will come later this spring, Ford is apparently the first automaker to get access.
As promised, Mustang Mach-E and F-150 Lightning owners will be able to order the company’s Fast Charging Adapter which will be available at no cost to new and existing customers enrolled in the BlueOval™ Charge Network through June 30, 2024. If you miss that date, the adapter will cost customers $250.
Here’s how to reserve your adapter for free:
1. From the Ford website, log in to Ford Pass. The Fast Charging Adapter Reservation will be the first tile within the Connected Service Home Page.
2. Click on the ‘Reserve your adapter at no cost’ button to start the ordering process
3. Your shipping information will be pre-populated based on your Ford Pass account, just verify that all the information is accurate, update if needed, and click ‘Reserve’.
4. And that’s it! From there you will get a confirmation screen with helpful information on a forthcoming automated over-the-air software update and a link to our FAQ Hub.
5. Additionally, you will receive a confirmation email with a personalized link to check the status of your reservation
Keep in mind that not every Tesla Supercharger will work with the adapter. Ford notes that “Your Fast Charging Adapter allows charging at upgraded Tesla Superchargers.
